Hi my fiance has been working for UPS for about 3 years as a package handler/and Driver in Delaware. We have been commuting and have lived apart/separate careers for over 2 years now and we're finally planning to be married this fall. He told me about 3 months ago, when he proposed, he was up for a promotion (or rather he is going to take the opportunity to move up to Feeder Driver) which will offer him more pay and opportunity to start over at his new salary out in New Jersey where I live and so we can finally start our lives together. He told me he needs to pass the test for the CDL license with UPS and he can relocate starting over fresh with a CDL and as a FEEDER driver making over ($80,000-$100K a year) I truly hope he is being honest with me. Additionally, he told me he still won't be "picked" for another 5 to 6 months until he can even take the test for the CDL to go for this feeder position! Is this true? I sometimes wonder if this is just a way to delay moving out to New Jersey with me to finally start our lives here (together) because he is not ready. Is it true that UPS selects one guy per month to go out for the CDL testings and that indeed he could be Guy #8 in line for Feeder? Why would it take so long? Also, I noticed he had been given a pretty large book to study and it seems to me that UPS is serious about passing the test and who will get the job for Feeder Driver (which is great) and it seems very rigorous to me so I can't help but notice he has not even studied a single page of the material given to him yet and when I try to help him study I am shocked to learn he doesnt know a thing from the material given!! I fear he is not taking this seriously enough and thinks he can simply pass. Should I be worried? Is there or not a written test for CDL license for this position and how difficult is it? What does the Feeder Driver tests/CDL entail/involve? He doesnt even seem to know! When you pass a CDL test obviously you are given a CDL license right, but does UPS give another form of ID or license once he gets the Feeder position, indicating that he is a Feeder? Thanks for any help!
